WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 27: Judge Brett Kavanaugh testifies to the Senate Judiciary Committee during his Supreme Court confirmation hearing in the Dirksen Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill September 27, 2018 in Washington, DC. Kavanaugh was called back to testify about claims by Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused him of sexually assaulting her during a party in 1982 when they were high school students in suburban Maryland.

More than half of the registered voters polled – 53 percent – would support further inquiries into the new associate justice. Forty-three percent are opposed.

Support grows even higher among women, 58 percent of whom said they want Congress to probe Kavanaugh’s past – 37 percent of women said they did not. Men were more evenly divided, with support vs. oppose at 47-49 percent.

The gender gap is even more apparent among 18-49-year-olds and those aged 50-64.

“The gender gap peaks among 18- to 49-year-olds -– 70 percent of women in this age group support an investigation, vs. 53 percent of men. That nets to 61 percent support among 18- to 49-year-olds, dropping to 49 percent of Americans age 50-64 and 38 percent of seniors.”

The gender gap is also apparent in approval of Kavanaugh being on the Court. Among women, 48 percent say they strongly disapprove of his confirmation, while 28 say they strongly approve. Men are more evenly split, according to the poll.

ABC breaks down the numbers in greater detail:

“Women who describe themselves as politically independent are 20 points more apt than independent men to disapprove of Kavanaugh’s confirmation, 61 vs. 41 percent; it’s similar among women age 18-49 compared with their male counterparts, 64 vs. 45 percent. Additionally, moderate women are 17 points more likely than moderate men to disapprove of the confirmation, 69 vs. 52 percent. There are also slight 8- and 9-point gaps between conservative women and men and liberal women and men.”

Respondents also said, by a margin of 50-41 percent, that the Senate Judiciary Committee didn’t do enough background work on Kavanaugh during his nomination proceedings.

“Registered voters say Kavanaugh’s confirmation makes them more apt to support Democratic rather than Republican candidates by a 6-point margin, 33-27 percent, with the rest saying it makes no difference.”

There are those on Twitter who see these numbers as a direct rebuke of Republican politics.

That's because the kavanaugh conformation shows American how crooked republicans and trump government are.

A short term win purchased at the expense of everything else. Glad to hear people don’t like iron fisted minority rule and are ready to put those who have shown they are unfit to wield power back in the back benches. #VoteBlueNoMatterWho
